Recipe Tip
Colorful Tomatoes
Tomatoes contain carotenoids, plant pigments that color them red. Carotenoids are antioxidants that can help protect cells from damage.
Personalize Your Pizza
Using flatbreads makes it easy to whip up quick homemade pizza. Try your own topping combinations, experimenting with different kinds of low-fat sauces, cheeses, and veggies.

Tomato and Basil Flatbread Pizza
This is a quick and easy recipe. It reminded me how much hubby and I enjoy our flat bread (don't get me started). I did add 1/4 of a very thinly sliced large sweet onion, 1 clove of fresh garlic, I cut back on the basil and added fresh spinach. If you don't have pesto use your own pasta sauce. The nice thing about cookin' Flat Bread...you can do your own thing! This picture shows the flat bread looking more like pita bread. I use Flatout flat bread. It measures 10" by 71/2" for only 100 cal for the whole flatbread and it give you 8g of fiber. It's good as a wrap too.
